29 Mar 2007No, Eva’s not cheating on her fiancee, NBA star Tony Parker; it seems that Tony himself is a rapper. And he raps in…uh…French. Peep his video here:
What do you think? The first word that came to my mind when watching the video was “wickety wack”, but then again I don’t speak French nor am I a music critic.
People magazine says that Eva is mighty proud of Tony and his new rap CD and quotes a record store employee in Paris who says that the album is selling.

Being a Texas girl and all, Eva Longoria likes her country music. So she’s hoping her shit-kickin’ homie Kenny Chesney (a.k.a Renee Zellwegger‘s husband for about a minute) will do her the honor of performing at her wedding in gay (ahem) Paris:
“My friend Kenny [Chesney] is going to sing at my wedding, the Desperate Housewives star tells Cosmopolitan for its April issue. Except there’s one snag: “He just doesn’t know it yet,” Longoria admits.
Is it just me, or does Eva Longoria have a really interesting assortment of friends?
Eva also told People magazine that she isn’t in a hurry to have kids, but is planning to start a family and adopt children.

Latinos were in the house at this year’s Golden Globes. With the sweep of two important categories by ABC’s Ugly Betty, we had something to celebrate, but the tail end of the show brought triumphs and losses.
The big win: the last award of the night, Best Film Drama, went to Mexico’s Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu for Babel:
“I swear I have my papers in order, governor, I swear,” “Babel” director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu of Mexico joked after California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger presented the best drama prize for the sweeping ensemble drama that takes place on three continents.
And while here at VL we frequently entertain the debate of whether we should consider people, things, issues, animals, etc. from Spain applicable to this site (yes, we know Spaniards are not Latinos), Mala and I are huge Almodóvar fans so we were rooting for Volver. Unfortunately, our movie lost. Boo-hoo. I wonder if Pedro knew and that’s why he said he had cold and skipped the awards all together?
Also, our beloved Penelope lost the Best Actress award, also for Volver. Hopefully Salma stuck around to keep her company without rubbing her nose in it.
Still, some Hollywood experts still have Pe pegged for a Best Actress nod at the Oscars.

We recently told you that Texican Eva Longoria is going to marry her bf Tony Parker. People magazine reports that in a labor of love, Eva is learning the native tongue of her fiancé, French:
Eva Longoria may not be a housewife, but she is desperate for her France-raised fiancé Tony Parker to improve her French skills.“He’s terrible. He always wants to speak English,” Longoria, 31, told PEOPLE Thursday while in London to open the annual Harrods Winter Sale. “I try to remind him but he always forgets and says it’s easier and faster to speak English, but I want to understand.”
She decided to master French the hard way – in a classroom. “I couldn’t speak French before Tony. All I knew how to say was, ‘My name is Eva.’ I went to a Berlitz French school this summer, doing about five hours a day.”
And how is her French now? “Great!”
I wouldn’t bet on it. French is one of those languages that if you learn three phrases you think you sound great, and the French people in the room are secretly laughing their asses off about how bad you speak.

On-again off-again Hollywood couple Eva Longoria and Tony Parker are ready to tie the knot, according to AP/The Chicago Tribune:
“Tony flew into Los Angeles last night after his game and surprised Eva at her home as she got off work,” Liza Anderson told The Associated Press on Thursday via e-mail.“The proposal was romantic and perfect. The couple plans to wed in France in the summer of 2007 in what they describe as a big, happy ceremony with lots of family and friends.”
Congrats, Eva.
In not so happy Eva news, Longoria was named one of PETA’s “worst-dressed” as one of the many celebs who wears fur in public.

For those of you who still care (and judging from the number of hits we get off of Eva’s name, there are a lot of you), it looks like Eva Longoria‘s split from bf Tony Parker was a false alarm:
There are signs of hope in the relationship of Tony Parker and Eva Longoria, whose split last week seemed only to last, well, a split second, PEOPLE reports in its new issue.“They’re trying to work things out,” Longoria’s rep, Liza Anderson, tells the magazine. “There is a genuine love there.”
During a recent romp in Paris – where point guard Parker was playing in exhibition games with the San Antonio Spurs – the couple took in the sights, partied at the VIP Room and dined at the famed Le Coupe-Chou.
Now I’ll finally be able to sleep through the night.

The power-couple comprised of Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria and NBA star Tony Parker is no longer, according to People magazine:
Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria and San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker have split up, a source close to the couple tells PEOPLE.“They did break up. It’s amicable,” the source says, adding, “They are talking and trying to figure the best course of action for their future. They are trying to work things out.”
“It’s distance and demanding careers and not living in same city,” said the source. “It didn’t happen yesterday. It’s been going on for a while.”
In an earlier statement issued by Longoria’s rep Liza Anderson on Friday, she said, “Eva and Tony are going through a very difficult time right now, just like any other couple with extremely demanding careers.”
Eva had previously predicted that she and Tony would stay together “forever”. Kiss of death. I wonder what she’s going to do about that tattoo.
Meanwhile, Eva had a run-in with some squatters living in her new mansion. I hate when that happens.

La latina ama de casa, Ms. Eva Longoria doesn’t want to be seen as just another sex hungry greedy stereotype, like her character on Desperate Housewives, Gabriela Solis.Her latest role is as a special agent in the upcoming film, The Sentinel. But it seems that Hollywood has other plans.
She explained: “There is a shot of my butt in a tight skirt as I walk in the office. So my boss tells me to dress differently. It is all very important. If the guy never checked out my butt you would never understand why I was being a b***h to him in the second scene.”
Yes Eva we’re sure the tight shot of your tight ass was key to the plot and chracter development.

Have you vere had a friend who says he/she isn’t bitter about something but can’t shut up about that something? Makes you think that maybe they really are bitter, no? Eva Longoria is not our friend but if the reports from Hollywood Rag are true then she is the most bitter non-bitter person I’ve read about.
She said: “There is that one fashion designer who said, ‘We’re not dressing her,’ because he thought I was such a nobody. “When he sends clothes for free now, I send them right back.” She said in an interview with Playboy magazine: “I was turned down for the starring role in ‘Dark Angel’ – which went to Jessica Alba. And I was snubbed for the lead in ‘Spanglish’. I auditioned to be one of the girls who escorted the wrestlers on ‘Battle Dome’ and didn’t get it and I was fired
from ‘The Young and the Restless.’ But I’m not bitter at all.”

Eva Longoria needs to have us on her payroll because this mujer is anything but desperate for publicity. She is all over the place, including here. According to Female First :
She will play the dead fiancée of ‘Romeo and Juliet’ star Paul Rudd in ‘How I met my Boyfriend’s Dead Fiancée’. Eva’s spooky character tries to keep her boyfriend away from a female psychic who falls in love with him. Filming starts at the end of August.
Why do I have a feeling this is a movie that I and millions of others will not see.
